This is the real item of note - It was the biggest defensive play EVER and it's not even close 1. Double play last night - 46.24% 2. Double play to send 1924 Game 7 to extras - 32.81% 3. Double play to get Jack Morris out of bases loaded 1 out in top of the 8th 1991 WS G7 - 28.75%

Mike Trout should be able to pitch in relief so that he can strike out Ohtani to finish the World Series.

Babe Ruth pitched a 14-inning complete game, outdueling Sherry Smith who also went the distance Ruth’s Red Sox beat the Brooklyn Robins (Dodgers) 2-1 on Del Gainer’s walk-off single in the bottom of the 14th Tied for 2nd-longest WS game (2018 G3 LAD/BOS 18; 2005 G3 CHW/HOU 14; 2015 G1 KC/NYM 14)

With Connelly Early (23y,182d) slated to start tomorrow, he’ll be the youngest pitcher to start a postseason game for the Red Sox since Babe Ruth (21y,246d) started game 2 of the 1916 World Series

Shout out to Long John Reilly, who made his living primarily as an artist (b/c baseball wasn't a practical job in the 1880s) & survived a shipwreck during his first major league season. Years ago I drew every member of the Reds Hall of Fame (

) and he's my favorite.
